Pro
Tools
for your Pinewood Derby Car
The axles
that come with your car kit are NAILS! They are not straight and this
is why we created the Pro-Axle Press. All you need is a hammer and
the Pro-Axle Press to straighten and make the shaft round and square
and taper the head of the axle. You can also use the Pro-Axle Press
to purposely bend an axle (to raise a front wheel or make an alignment
adjustment).
The Pro Rail Rider is used with the Pro Axle
Press to align your car to run straight or to tune it to use the new "Rail
Riding" technique for even faster speed. Full instructions included.
The Pro-Body tool is a precision-machined
device that will improve the speed of your Pinewood Derby cars through
accurate axle hole drilling. The Pro-Body Tool:
Ensures accurate axle positioning by allowing you
to drill accurate axle guide holes into the existing axle slots with
a hand drill! The guide holes ensure that the axles are mounted square
and true on the car. Improved axle mounting accuracy equals greater
speed!
For races which allow axle holes, the Pro-Body
tool serves as a guide for drilling accurate holes with a hand drill.
Again, improved axle mounting accuracy equals greater speed!
The Pro Body Jig is an
adjustable tool designed to create new axle holes in a Pinewood Derby
car block.
Adjustable for standard, extended or custom axle spacing.
Accurate axle holes every time.
Can also be used to drill a raised wheel.
#44 drill bit included
A hand drill is needed to use this tool.

Pro-Hub Tools
The Pro-Hub tool performs three
important wheel improvements:
Hub Squaring - Ensures accurate rotation by squaring
the wheel hub to the wheel bore.
Hub Coning - Reduces friction by accurately and
easily coning the inside wheel hub.
Bore Reaming - Some wheels are manufactured with
a wheel bore that is too small to fit a wheel mandrel. This tool
ensures proper axle fit by reaming undersized wheel bores.
